白藜芦醇降低大鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度

实验旨在研究白藜芦醇(resveratrol)对大鼠心室肌细胞内钙浓度(intracellular calcium concentratoin,[Ca2+]i)的影响.应用激光共聚焦显微镜技术记录心室肌细胞内的钙荧光强度.结果表明在正常台氏液和无钙台氏液中,白藜芦醇(15～60μmol/L)呈浓度依赖性地降低[Ca2+]i.蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶抑制剂正钒酸钠(sodium orthovanadate,1.0 mmol/L)和L型Ca2+通道激动剂Bay K8644(10 μmol/L)可部分抑制正常台氏液中白藜芦醇的效应.但NO合酶阻断剂L-NAME(1.0 mmol/L)对白藜芦醇的作用无影响.白藜芦醇也能明显抑制无钙台氏液中由低浓度ryanodine(1.0 nmol/L)引起的[Ca2+]i增加.当细胞外液钙浓度由1 mmol/L增加到10 mmol/L而诱发心室肌细胞钙超载时,部分心室肌细胞产生可传播的钙波,白藜芦醇(60 μmol/L)可降低钙波的传播速度和持续时间,最终阻断钙波.结果提示,白藜芦醇能够降低心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度,此作用可能与其抑制电压依赖性Ca2+通道、酩氨酸激酶和肌浆网内钙释放有关.     

腺苷减少豚鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度

目的：研究腺苷对豚鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度（[Ca^2＋]i）的影响并探讨其可能机制。方法：用激光共聚焦显微镜探测细胞内游离钙浓度,结果用相对荧光强度（（FI-FI0）／FI0,％;FI0：对照;FI：给药）表示。结果：①在正常台氏液和无钙台氏液中,腺苷（10,50,100μmol／L）浓度依赖性地降低[Ca^2＋];。②含30mmol／L KCl的台氏液（高钾台氏液）能够增加[Ca^2＋]i。腺苷（10,50,100μmol／L）能够显著抑制KCl引起的[Ca^2＋]i的增加。③预先应用选择性腺苷AI受体拮抗剂DPCPX（1μmol／L）,可大部分取消腺苷（100μmol／L）在高钾台氏液中的作用。腺苷（100μmol／L）在高钾台氏液的作用也可被预先应用一氧化氮（No）合酶抑制剂L-NAME（1mmol／L）所部分减弱。④腺苷（100μmol／L）能明显抑制无钙台氏液中由低浓度ryanodine引起的[Ca^2＋];增加。⑤当细胞外液钙浓度由1mmol／L增加到10mmol／L而诱发心室肌细胞钙超载时,部分心室肌细胞产生可传播的钙波,腺苷（100μmol／L）可降低钙波发生的频率和持续时间,最终阻断钙波并降低[Ca^2＋];。结论：腺苷可通过抑制外钙内流和减少肌浆网内钙释放从而降低[Ca^2＋],其减少外钙内流可能是由于腺苷A1受体介导的电压依赖性Ca^2＋通道的抑制,NO可能参与这一过程。     

胍丁胺对大鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度的影响

本研究旨在观察胍丁胺 (agmatine ,Agm)对分离大鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度 ( [Ca2 +]i)的影响。用酶解方法分离大鼠心室肌细胞 ,用Fluo 3 AM负载 ,然后用激光共聚焦法测定单个心室肌细胞 [Ca2 +]i 的荧光强度 (fluorescenceintensity ,FI) ,结果以FI或相对荧光强度 (F/F0 % )表示。实验结果表明 ,在正常台氏液 (含钙 1 0mmol/L)和无钙台氏液中 ,单个大鼠心室肌细胞的荧光密度分别为 12 8 8± 13 8和 119 6± 13 6,两者无差异。Agm 0 1、1和 10mmol/L浓度依赖性地显著降低细胞的钙浓度 ;在正常台氏液中加入EGTA 3mmol/L ,Agm同样降低细胞的钙浓度。KCl 60mmol/L ,PE 3 0 μmol/L ,和Bay K 864 410 μmol/L均升高心室肌细胞的[Ca2 +]i。Agm同样降低高浓度KCl、Bay K 864 4和PE诱发的心室肌细胞 [Ca2 +]i 升高。当细胞外液钙浓度由 1mmol/L增加到 10mmol/L时 ,诱发心室肌细胞钙超载 ,同时部分心室肌细胞产生可传播的钙波 (Ca2 +wave) ,Agm 1mmol/L降低钙波的传播速度和持续时间 ,最终阻断钙波。以上结果提示 ,Agm对心室肌细胞的胞浆[Ca2 +]i具有抑制作用 ,此作用通过阻断电压依赖性钙通道而实现 ;并可能与抑制大鼠心室肌细胞内钙释放有关     

MCI-154对大鼠心肌细胞的变力作用

钙增敏剂具有正性肌力作用,同时不增加细胞内钙浓度,因此可避免导致心律失常和最终心肌细胞死亡的钙超载。然而大部分钙增敏剂对心肌舒张功能有损害作用。MCI-154是一种钙增敏剂,但不损害舒张功能。为阐明其变力作用机制,我们应用离子成像技术研究了MCI-154对分离的单个大鼠心室肌细胞钙瞬变和收缩的影响,利用膜片钳技术观察了MCI-154对大鼠心室肌细胞L-型钙电流和Na^ ／Ca^2 交换电流的影响。结果表明：(1)MCI-154在1μmol／L至100μmol／L的浓度范围内对L-型钙电流（ICa-L)无直接影响：(2)MCI-154在轻微增加钙瞬变幅度和缩短心肌钙瞬变TR50和TR90的情况下,呈剂量依赖性地增加大鼠心室肌细胞的缩短;(3)MCI-154剂量依赖性地增加正常大鼠心室肌细胞的Na^ ／Ca^2 交换电流。这些结果提示：MCI-154不仅剂量依赖性地发挥了正性变力作用,对舒张功能也没有损害作用,明显不同于其它钙增敏剂,而且还轻微改善了大鼠心室肌细胞的舒张。其对内向Na^ ／Ca^2 交换电流的激动作用会加快钙内流,导致TR50和TR90的缩短,提示MCI-154是通过正向Na^ ／Ca^2 交换改善舒张功能的。     

白藜芦醇对离体豚鼠乳头状肌的电生理效应

本文旨在应用标准玻璃微电极技术,观察白藜芦醇对离体豚鼠乳头状肌的电生理效应。结果显示：(1)白藜芦醇(30、60、120μmol／L)可剂量依赖性地缩短乳头状肌细胞的动作电位时程;(2)对部分去极化的乳头状肌,白藜芦醇(60μmol／L)不仅缩短动作电位时程,而且降低动作电位的幅值和超射值,减慢零期最大上升速度;(3)用无钙K-H液灌流标本可完全取消白藜芦醇对乳头状肌细胞的作用：(4)钾通道开放剂四乙基氯化铵(TEA,20mmol／L),不能阻断白藜芦醇的电生理效应;(5)预先应用一氧化氮合酶抑制剂L-NAME(1mmol／L),对白藜芦醇的上述效应无影响。以上结果表明,白藜芦醇可缩短正常乳头状肌细胞动作电位时程,这一效应可能与其抑制钙离子内流有关,但此作用机制中NO的作用并不显著。     

肾上腺髓质素降低培养海马神经元胞内游离钙离子浓度

经荧光探针Fluo 3-AM标记细胞内游离钙后,用激光共聚焦显微镜检测肾上腺髓质素(adrenomedullin,ADM)对原代培养大鼠海马神经元内游离钙浓度([Ca^2 ]1)的影响。实验结果如下：(1)ADM(0．01-1．0μmol／L)浓度依赖性地降低细胞内钙浓度。(2)降钙素基因相关肽受体阻断剂(calcitonin gene-related peptide,CGRP8-37)预处理可部分抑制ADM的效应。(3)ADM可显著抑制高钾引起的[Ca^2 ]1增加。(4)ADM可显著抑制三磷酸肌醇(inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate,IP3)引起的内钙释放,而对兰尼定(ryanodine)引起的内钙释放无显著影响。以上结果提示,ADM降低培养海马神经元内游离钙浓度,此作用与其抑制IP,引起的内钙释放有关,ADM对静息状态下的Ca^2 内流无影响,但可显著抑制高钾引起的Ca^2 内流,CGRP受体介导了ADM的上述效应。

低浓度双氢哇巴因对豚鼠心室肌细胞内游离钙浓度的影响

用激光共聚焦显微镜检查研究低浓度双氢哇巴因（DHO）对豚鼠心室肌细胞内钙浓度（[Ca^2 ]i)的影响。DHO 1fmol/L-1 mmol/L可增加心室肌细胞的[Ca^2 ]i,尤其以10pmol/L DHO为显著,Nisoldipine,EGTA或TTX可分别部分抑制10pmol/L DHO的作用,去除胞外K^ 和Na^ 后,上述作用仍存在,以上结果表明,低浓度DHO中通过激活钙通道和TTX敏感的钠通道,或许还可直接促进胞内钙释放来增加[Ca^2 ]i,并有不依赖Na^ /K^ 泵而升高[Ca^2 ]i的作用。     

八肽胆囊收缩素激活钙离子通道和酪氨酸激酶诱导豚鼠心肌细胞内的游离钙增高

探讨八肽胆囊收缩素(CCK-8)对豚鼠单个心肌细胞内游离钙浓度([Ca2+]i的影响及其信号转导机制.Fluo 3-AM标记酶消化法分离的单个心室肌细胞,用激光共聚焦显微镜测定细胞内[Ca2+]i的浓度.[Ca2+]i的变化用荧光强度(Fi)和相对荧光强度(Fi/F0%)表示.实验结果如下(1)在含Ca2+1.0 mmol/L的Tyrode's液中,CCK-8(1～104pmoVL)均可引起[Ca2+]i快速显著上升(P＜0.01).(2)用钙离子鳌合剂EGTA(3 mmol/L)和钙离子通道阻断剂nisoldipine(0.5μmol/L)预孵育心肌细胞5 min,CCK-8(102pmol/L)仅可引起[Ca2+]i缓慢轻度上升(P＜0.01).(3)用非选择性CCK受体拮抗剂丙谷胺(proglumide 6μmo1/L)或酪氨酸激酶抑制剂genistein(1 μmol/L)预孵育心肌细胞5 min,则完全抑制CCK-8诱导的[Ca2+]i升高(P＜0.01).CCK-8可通过激活其受体控制的Ca2+通道,引起Ca2+内流,诱导细胞内Ca2+释放,引起豚鼠单个心肌细胞内[Ca2+]i上升,此作用可能由酪氨酸激酶介导.     

三羟异黄酮对豚鼠心室肌细胞L-型钙通道电流的影响

本实验用全细胞膜片钳技术观察三羟异黄酮(genistein,GST)对豚鼠心室肌细胞L-钙通道电流(ICa、L)的影响。结果如下:(1)GST(10、50、100 μmol/L)可浓度依赖性地降低ICa,L(n=6,P<0.01)。GST的非活性结构类似物daidzein(100μmol/L),在同一浓度范围对ICa,L没有影响(n=5,P>0.05)。(2)GST使I-V曲线上移,但对ICa,L的电压依赖特征和最大激活电压无明显影响。(3)GST对ICa,L的激活动力学特性也无影响,但可使钙电流稳态失活曲线左移。V0.5从对照的-28.6±0.6 mV变为-32.8±1.1mV,κ值从对照的5.8±0.5 mV升至6.5±0.9 mV(n=6,P<0.05)。(4)GST明显使复活曲线右移,从而使ICa,L从失活状态下恢复明显减慢(n=7,P<0.01)。(5)酪氨酸磷酸酶抑制剂正钒酸钠(1 mmol/L)显著对抗GST引起的ICa,L抑制效应(n=6,P<0.01)。根据以上结果得出的结论是:GST抑制ICa,L加速钙通道失活和钙通道在失活状态下恢复减慢;GST对ICa,L的这种抑制作用与蛋白酪氨酸激酶(PTK)抑制有关。     

A single cell model of myocardial reperfusion injury: Changes in intracellular Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations in guinea pig ventricular myocytes

To investigate the contribution of the changes in intracellular Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations ([Na+]i and [Ca2+]i) to myocardial reperfusion injury, we made an ischemia/reperfusion model in intact guinea pig myocytes. Myocardial ischemia was simulated by the perfusion of metabolic inhibitors (3.3 mM amobarbital and 5 M carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone) with pH 6.6 and reperfusion was achieved by the washout of them with pH 7.4. [Na+]i increased from 7.9 ± 2.0 to 14.0 ± 3.4 mM (means ± S.E., p < 0.01) during 7.5 min of simulated ischemia (SI) and increased further to 18.8 ± 3.0 mM at 7.5 min after reperfusion. [Ca2+]i, expressed as the ratio of fluo 3 fluorescence intensity, increased to 133 ± 8% (p < 0.01) during SI and gradually returned to the control level after reperfusion. Intracellular pH decreased from 7.53 ± 0.04 to 6.31 ± 0.04 (p < 0.01) and recovered quickly after reperfusion. Reperfusion with the acidic solution or the continuous perfusion of hexamethylene amiloride (2 M) prevented the reperfusion-induced increase in [Na+]i. When the duration of SI was prolonged to 15 min, the cell response after reperfusion varied, 16 of 37 cells kept quiescent, 21 cells showed spontaneous Ca2+ waves, and 4 cells out of these 21 cells became hypercontracted. In quiescent cells, both [Na+]i and [Ca2+]i decreased immediately after reperfusion. In cells with Ca2+ waves, [Na+]i transiently increased further at the early phase of reperfusion, while [Ca+]i declined. In hypercontracted cells, [Na+]i increased as much as in Ca2+ wave cells, but [Ca2+]i increased extensively and both ion concentrations continued to increase. Reperfusion with the Ca2+-free solution prevented both the [Ca2+]i increase and morphological change. In the presence of ryanodine (10 M), the increase in [Ca2+]i after reperfusion was augmented and some cells became hypercontracted. We concluded that (1) Na+/H+ exchange is active both during SI and reperfusion, resulting in the additional [Na+]i elevation on reperfusion, (2) the [Na+]i level after reperfusion and the following Ca2+ influx via Na+/Ca2+ exchange are crucial for reperfusion cell injury, and (3) the Ca2+ buffering capacity of sarcoplasmic reticulum would also contribute to the Ca2+ regulation and cell injury after reperfusion.     

Effects of Na+/Ca2+ exchange induced by SR Ca2+ release on action potentials and afterdepolarizations in guinea pig ventricular myocytes

In cardiac cells, evoked Ca2+ releases or spontaneous Ca2+ waves activate the inward Na+/Ca2+ exchange current (INaCa), which may modulate membrane excitability and arrhythmogenesis. In this study, we examined changes in membrane potential due to INaCa elicited by sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release in guinea pig ventricular myocytes using whole cell current clamp, fluorescence, and confocal microscopy. Inhibition of INaCa by Na+-free, Li+-containing Tyrode solution reversibly abbreviated the action potential duration at 90% repolarization (APD90) by 50% and caused SR Ca2+ overload. APD90 was similarly abbreviated in myocytes exposed to the Na+/Ca2+ exchange inhibitor KB-R7943 (5 microM) or after inhibition of SR Ca2+ release with ryanodine (20 microM). In the absence of extracellular Na+, spontaneous SR Ca2+ releases caused minimal changes in resting membrane potential. After the myocytes were returned to Na+-containing solution, the potentiated intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) transients dramatically prolonged APD90 and [Ca2+]i oscillations caused delayed and early afterdepolarizations (DADs and EADs). Laser-flash photolysis of caged Ca2+ mimicked the effects of spontaneous [Ca2+]i oscillations, confirming that APD prolongation, DADs, and EADs could be ascribed to intracellular Ca2+ release. These results suggest that Na+/Ca2+ exchange is a major physiological determinant of APD and that INaCa activation by spontaneous SR Ca2+ release/oscillations, depending on the timing, can account for both DADs and EADs during SR Ca2+ overload.     

Ca2+]i changes in guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle cells in culture: effects of Na+ and ouabain

The objective of this work was to confirm that the contractile effects of ouabain and Na(+)-free solutions in guinea pig tracheal rings are associated with increments in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in cultured tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) cells. Cultured cells were alpha-actin positive. Histamine (50 microM) and Na(+)-free solution elicited a transient increase in [Ca2+]i, while the responses to thapsigargin (1 microM) and ouabain (1 mM) were long lasting. However, carbachol (10, 200, and 500 mM) and high K(+)-solution produced no effect on [Ca2+]i, suggesting that cultured guinea pig TSM cells display a phenotype change but maintain some of the tracheal rings physiological properties. The transient rise in [Ca2+]i in response to the absence of extracellular Na+ and the effect of ouabain may indicate the participation of the Na(+)/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) in the regulation of [Ca2+]i.     

Antisense inhibition of Na+/Ca2+ exchange during anoxia/reoxygenation in ventricular myocytes

This study investigated the role of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) in regulating cytosolic intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) during anoxia/reoxygenation in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. The hypothesis that the NCX is the predominant mechanism mediating [Ca2+]i overload in this model was tested through inhibition of NCX expression by an antisense oligonucleotide. Immunocytochemistry revealed that this antisense oligonucleotide, directed at the area around the start site of the guinea pig NCX1, specifically reduced NCX expression in cultured adult myocytes by 90 +/- 4%. Antisense treatment inhibited evoked NCX activity by 94 +/- 3% and decreased the rise in [Ca2+]i during anoxia/reoxygenation by 95 +/- 3%. These data suggest that NCX is the predominant mechanism mediating Ca2+ overload during anoxia/reoxygenation in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes.     

NMR studies of intracellular sodium ions in mammalian cardiac myocytes

The unambiguous measurement of intracellular sodium ion [Na+]i by the noninvasive NMR technique offers a new opportunity to monitor precisely the maintenance and fluctuations of [Na+]i levels in intact cells and tissues. The anionic frequency shift reagent, dysprosium (III) tripolyphosphate, which does not permeate intact cells, when added to suspensions of intact adult rat cardiac myocytes, alters the NMR frequency of extracellular sodium ions, [Na+]o, leaving that of intracellular ions, [Na+]i, unaffected. Using 23Na NMR in conjunction with this shift reagent, we have determined NMR-visible intracellular Na+ ion concentration in a suspension of isolated cardiac myocytes under standard conditions with insulin and Ca2+ in the extracellular medium to be 8.8 +/- 1.2 mmol/liter of cells (n = 4). This value is comparable to that measured by intracellular ion-selective microelectrodes in heart tissue. Cardiac myocytes incubated for several hours in insulin-deficient, Ca2+-containing medium prior to NMR measurement exhibited a somewhat lower [Na+]i value of 6.9 +/- 0.5 mmol/liter of cells (n = 3). Reversible Na+ loading of the cells by manipulation of extracellular calcium levels is readily measured by the NMR technique. Incubation of myocytes in a Ca2+-free, insulin-containing medium causes a 3-fold increase in [Na+]i to a level of 22.8 +/- 2.6 mmol/liter of cells (n = 10). In contrast to cells with insulin, insulin-deficient myocytes exhibit a markedly lower level of [Na+]i of only 14.6 +/- 2.0 mmol/liter of cells (n = 4) in Ca2+-free medium. These observations suggest that insulin may stimulate a pathway for Na+ influx in heart cells.
